Hey there, Broncos fans. We got an email yesterday from one of our readers by the name of Dave Traveller. Here was Dave's question, or a series of questions, actually:

So, if the formula for beating the Broncos offense is press coverage with 2 high safeties, then what is the technical strategic response to that defense? Seems like running the ball up the middle. Montee Ball time? Also, do the Broncos have the personnel to beat press coverage? Do you think the wide receivers can adjust and adapt? Where is [Demaryius] Thomas? If he is this big athletic receiver... why isn't he ever open?

TJ, the Broncos should fire both Matt Russell and Tom Heckert. Elway and Co. need to demonstrate to the fans and the players there will be no tolerance for this kind of behavior. If we were talking about the Raiders, we'd all be saying they should go and you know it, Dude.

TJ, I hate Merril Hoge, and I hope people in Denver don't take anything he has to say about Tim Tebow seriously.

-- Jim Rebough, Englewood, Colorado

Jim: First, let's not hate anyone. I could recommend a good therapist in the Denver Metro area if you need to get that under control. With respect to Merril Hoge, he certainly knows more about football than most of us, but that doesn't mean he's right about Tim Tebow. After Hoge's Twitter account exploded with Tebow criticism yesterday, he went on 104.3 The Fan and continued his tirade.

Dude, we've been missing your Mail Revue out here in Sin City. Don't tell me you've stopped. It will bring me to tears. At least give us your thoughts on the end to the lockout, won't you?

-- Bambi, Las Vegas, Nevada

Bambi: First, let me say that I'm glad to see that some parents still have the decency to name their children after porn stars.

TJ, since the Broncos are hell bent on dropping Ryan Harris and going with rookie Orlando Franklin at right tackle, why not flip our tackles so our best lineman, Ryan Clady, is protecting Tebow’s blind side?

TJ, I read your stupid column last week blasting Woody Paige for suggesting that Kyle Orton never offered encouragement to Tim Tebow. Let me jump completely into bed with Woody here. You are guilty of cherry picking. You took one shot of Orton on the sideline and used it to suggest that Tebow and Orton were fast friends during Weeks 16 and 17. That's ridiculous. Paige is onto something here. I can feel it. Orton is a sulker. You should be ashamed of yourself. You call yourself "The Dude?" I don't like your name and I don't like your blog.

TJ, last week I read your piece on the lockout in which you very much sided with the players. I see your points about the players having very short careers and that most of them aren't millionaires. I even get that most of them are going to have health problems. I'm even willing to cede that the owners are old, rich white guys who throw temper tantrums when they don't get their way. But aren't you missing the whole point here? Your socialist rant didn't address the fundamental issue of the negotiation itself.

TJ, congratulations to one of the Broncos' favorite sons, Shannon Sharpe, for making it into the Hall of Fame! What an honor for yet another Bronco. I just wish he would have been inducted earlier. It seemed a little belated to me.

Dude, okay, here's the deal. I know that you've got this thing where you criticize the Denver Post each and every day. It's like Fat Man's thing. I get that. I really do. But do you need to do it so often? Every day? Certainly, Woody Paige can't be that bad 24/7. Is Jeff Legwold walking around like a character from the movie Rain Man the very moment he awakes? Did Mark Kiszla sell his soul to the devil? Don't get me wrong, you guys are the best thing out there. I get a laugh everyday from reading your stuff. But you, Doug Lee, and now Ted are really laying it on thick, don' you think? You going after Lindsay Jones next?
